The Applicant failed to appear. The hearing proceeded in absentia.
At the outset of the hearing, the Registrar’s Agent informed the Tribunal that the vehicle had been improperly impounded for 45 days. The proper impoundment was for 7 days and was the result of an ADLS suspension. The impoundment was completed, and the vehicle was released by the police on July 26, 2012.
DECISION
In light of the Registrar’s submission, the Tribunal is not called upon to issue an order. Accordingly, this matter is concluded.
